In your most difficult times, you find out exactly who is for you and who’s against you. This was exactly what Grace Allen found out when life turned her world upside down. Born and raised in the hood of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Grace was the eldest of two sisters. Though they were from the same hood, the same mother and father, they stood on two different values. While Grace thought she and her sister were close, sharing secrets, clothes, and losses, lying dormant beneath the surface was resentment, jealousy, and envy. When all three traits show themselves, what will Grace do? Grace was in love with her college sweetheart, Chaz Gentry. Chaz had swept Grace off her feet when she hit rock bottom. As he slowly helped her find herself, Grace never even noticed that she was losing herself in him. While Grace thought she would be with Chaz forever, the Chaz Gentry she knew was not who she thought him to be. Chaz had secrets that would soon try to destroy Grace. Promising herself that when she got out the hood, she would give back to her community by showing other young girls that living in the hood doesn't make you hood, she opens her own dance studio. What she didn’t plan on was running into the rude, no-nonsense, thug named Merci Means, known to everyone in the hood as Trouble. Trouble was just that... Trouble, living up to his name. A chance encounter with the beautiful Grace Allen has Trouble intrigued and hungry for her attention. Little does he know, Grace Allen comes with a lot of baggage that could spill over and cause him major problems not only in his heart but also in his hood. As tempting as getting to know Grace seemed, Trouble had to choose between his hood ways and his heart. Not experiencing love before meeting Grace, will he change his ways, or will he continue to be the rude boy in the streets? Sometimes love can come in like raging waters, unexpectedly taking everyone by surprise. No warning and no heads up, but what’s there to do when the heart wants what the heart wants? Will Grace give Trouble a fair chance at loving her through her pain? Will Grace and Merci weather the storms as everyone and everything tries to tear them apart? And will Grace ever realize that his thug love might just be what saves her?

At the end of the first installment of Saved by His Thug Love, baby girl, M.J., dropped a bomb on Grace. What will Grace say or do when she learns that Nic is carrying yet another one of Trouble's kids? Just as she and Trouble thought they were flourishing, everything comes crashing down as quickly as it started. Nic says she will get her man come hell or high water, and she’s pulling out all the stops to make that happen. However, with Grace in her way, her plan to snag Trouble and live as his leading lady and not just his baby mama is in jeopardy. She knows she will have to take drastic measures to get Trouble away from Grace because he is slowly falling for her. Well, Grace had better be careful because, underneath all that understanding baby mama talk, Nic was a bitter baby mama who wanted her rightful spot on Merci's arm. Gigi knew that Grace wouldn’t be with her willingly, so the plan with Nic would hopefully work out in her favor. Being in love with Grace was weighing on her, and she wanted the woman she had loved for so long. Will she bow out if Grace doesn’t return her love, or will she show her that if she can’t have her, then no one will? Merci is falling hard for Grace, but he is unable to give her what she longs for. As bad as he wants her to be his woman, he has Nic lurking in the shadows ready to destroy it all. Will he be able to keep Nic in her place as he figures out what to do about his relationship with Grace? Will he come clean with Grace about what he and Nic really have going on? Secrets, lies, and betrayal are at an all-time high in this finale. No one can be trusted, and everyone is out for themselves. When everything hits the fan, will Grace stand a fighting chance with Trouble or will he be just that in her life? Trouble. This finale is explosive, and things you never saw coming will come to light. Find out what happens in Saved By His Thug Love The Finale.

Kennedy: Apparently I had been naive the entire time that I was with King. Who knew that he had been keeping such a secret from me? Just my luck, as I hid from him to gather my thoughts and deal with the pain, yet another crushing blow to my happiness was revealed. I then realized that I could no longer live for King; it was time to live for Kennedy. Little did I know, Jada was suffering the same heartbreak that I was. Dolla had torn her heart into two. My girl was miserable, but she didn't run as I did; she was trying her best to inflict the same pain on Dolla as he had on her. Meanwhile, King, Meech and Dolla were constructing a plan to permanently get rid of the squad's enemies. But will it work? Will the squad make it through this storm of deception and lies to continue ruling the streets of Chi? Some secrets should never be kept and some secrets should never be told because, either way, we were all about to suffer the consequences of secrets both revealed and untold.
